Top 25 Fantasy Busts

Tony Fortier-Bensen

If you lost your fantasy football league, there are likely a few players you'd like to have word with. Let's take a look back on the guys that made your dreadful fantasy season possible with the top 25 busts of the 2017 fantasy football season.

Genesis Open picks

Player Updates

Jake Odorizzi (Min-P)

Odorizzi has been traded to Minnesota from Tampa Bay for shortstop Jermaine Palacios, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Odorizzi will move into the Minnesota rotation and help stabilize the top of the rotation that's set to miss Ervin Santana for at least a month with a finger injury. It's a curious return for the Rays, who gain a prospect not seen in the top 20 in the Minnesota organization. -- Rotowire.com

Sean Doolittle (Was-P)

Manager Dave Martinez said Saturday that Doolittle will remain the Nationals' closer in 2018, Jamal Collier of MLB.com reports.

As expected, Doolittle will reprise his ninth-inning role after converting 21 of 22 save opportunities for the Nationals in 2017 after being acquired at the non-waiver trade deadline in July. The 31-year-old also posted a 2.40 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 31:8 K:BB in 30 innings with Washington, and he should once again prove to be a steady mid-tier closer in 2018. -- Rotowire.com

Shohei Ohtani (-P)

Ohtani (ankle, elbow) will not only be available to pinch hit on days where he is not pitching or starting at DH, but he will be available as a pinch runner as well, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Ohtani has famously been clocked as an 80-grade runner in the past, so from a pure talent standpoint, he may be the Angels' best pinch-running option late in games. This adds some minor value to his profile in leagues where owners can start him as a hitter. -- Rotowire.com

David Wright (-3B)

Wright (shoulder) wants to keep trying to play, but he's not confident about his chances, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

While he was optimistic and said all the right things, it was clear from his tone with reporters that he's aware that his career might be over. The Mets recently signed Todd Frazier to man the hot corner, so they are clearly prepared to move on without Wright in the fold. -- Rotowire.com
